Does your commute to work just drag down your whole day? What if you could cut your commute down and soar among the clouds on your way to the office? Sounds magical, right?

Well, this guy built his own plane to do just that and, in typical 'real life' fashion, it's kind of rubbish to be honest.

The Czech Republic's Frantisek Hadrava spent two years and about 4,000 dollars building himself a plane, which is cool until you hear just how little time he actually saves.

Frantisek explains his normal commute in a car would take between 12 and 14 minutes, but by flying directly to work he can make the journey in five.

However, because he works early mornings and doesn't want to wake the locals, he takes a longer route that lasts about seven minutes.

Then, you've got to factor in the time it takes him to get the plane running and how long it takes to park it and put it away, especially on a rainy day. And obviously, if/when Amazon launch their delivery drones he's going to have to be very careful and we don't even want to think how much fuel will cost and what happens if he accidentally drops his packed lunch out of the plane.
